Doomed to be Cannon Fodder

Chapter 172: Touchy Feely, Big Sis, You’re So Soft

Yu Shū actually didn’t see anything in particular beyond a bare shoulder and back. Bai Xiangxiu hadn’t even taken off her undergarments, but was simply wiping herself with water before applying ointment. But this was already an alluring sight to a grown man. Although Yu Shū himself didn’t understand the meaning of ‘allure,’ he still couldn’t peel his eyes away. Instead, he just felt like he wanted to look at her longer and hug her again.

He gulped before seeing big sis turn around. At the same time, he whirled back to look at the moon. Even though he liked looking at the moon in the past, now he thought that big sis’s body looked much prettier. What to do now?

With difficulty, he waited until Bai Xiangxiu said, “All right, you can come in now!”

How would she know that he’d been peeping on her? She was even secretly praising this boy for being very good and obedient. But who knew that the very same child would come in and hug her as soon as he came in, sighing, “Big sis is so soft, so comfy.”

“Comfy your head! Come and let me apply medicine to you, you’re injured too.” Because of her injured foot, she couldn’t stand for long periods, so she slowly sat on the bed and pulled at his clothes before picking up the medicine. Yu Shū only stood there blankly as if he wasn’t injured at all.

“Take off your clothes,” Bai Xiangxiu said somewhat helplessly. She really had no idea what this child was thinking, just staring at her like that.

Yu Shū was delighted by these words. His lips drew up into a grin as he really started stripping. Even if he didn’t understand everything, he felt that doing this was the right choice. In contrast, Bai Xiangxiu felt a bit dejected. Why was he so happy to strip when she just wanted him to take off his clothes for medicine?!

He’d taken off all his clothes on his upper body in the blink of an eye. This was pure, blatant seduction, alright? She thought he was a skinny type, but he was attractive in his own way. More importantly, there were scars engraved on his skin that emanated unusual sex appeal. What to do about that?

She blushed faintly before she realized something was off, because the other was preparing to take off his pants. Bai Xiangxiu finally couldn’t hold back and grabbed his hand. “No need to take off any more, this is enough.”

Completely enough. If he kept stripping, she was going to fall apart, all right?

“There’s an injury.” Yu Shū used his most innocent voice to reply, as if he really was injured down there.

“Even if there’s an injury, we can’t put medicine there.” This went too counter to basic principles. She was someone with a husband, after all.

Yu Shū actually gave Bai Xiangxiu an extremely aggrieved look before she pulled him by the arm and spun him around. The next thing he knew, a gentle hand was applying what felt like fire to his back, each scalding touch causing him to tremble. This was a very strange feeling, but very comfortable as well. When Bai Xiangxiu finished and took a look at Yu Shū, his cheeks had turned red just like he’d been bullied.

She gave a light cough before silently turning to the side. That kind of look, coupled with his appearance, made it impossible for anyone to abandon him. It was like a little puppy. How it made one’s heart soften, how it made him that much more likeable!

But she still knew that this kind of ‘like’ wasn’t anything like love. Instead, he’d stirred up her maternal instincts, which was why she’d done everything to save him at the critical moment. “Put on your clothes, don’t catch a chill.”

It was best not to travel at night, but they couldn’t light a fire either. They could rest here until morning to continue their journey. Hopefully, Yu Kuang would return by then. By her observation, the wounds on his body were just about healed by now. He should be able to take her somewhere with civilization!

However, it’d be hard enough passing through this night. Bai Xiangxiu told Yu Shū, “You go sleep on the bed first.” She decided to keep watch in case someone caught up to them!

“No way, I want to hold onto big sis and sleep. Big sis is soft.” Yu Shū wasn’t Yu Kuang, so his killing move was to act cute.

Bai Xiangxiu gave him a shove and said in a serious tone, “Don’t move, go to sleep.”

Yu Shū ignored her and kept acting spoiled. In the end, Bai Xiangxiu had no choice but to lie next to him because he needed to rest from his injuries. With this, Yu Shū was happy. He could hug his big sis to sleep.
